American Part of me is a secret. My writing allows me to open up without opening up.
Tonight is the night I say goodbye The night that I live And at the same time die The stars are waiting My hands are shaking The angels are dead The fear's all in my head It's all the same Cause I'm the girl with no name I'm holding the pills I keep getting chills Nobody cries Everybody dies I'm committing a crime So I know it's time As I leave the world I know I'm free I know I was lost and no one will remember me Because the little girl Who hides in her room Was always in the dark Stuck in her tomb With tears on her pillow And razors under the bed Had too many monsters Stuck in her head The angels weep For the little lost soul Who took her own life Because life took it's toll (Disclaimer, this is inspired. Please don't worry.)

Tonight
I'm tired of this I'm tired of trying I'm tired of crying I'm tired of begging The days become long Writing becomes hard I can't get out of bed I can think I'm too tired Too tired to smile Too tired to laugh Too tired to care I tried I really did but nothing I do Is ever enough When will anyone ever realize That I'm just so **** tired

Tired
I love you But you don't love me I need you But you don't need me I hug you You push me away I smile You never smile back Where were you All those times I needed you Where were you All those time I fell These secrets The ones I hide beneath my sleeves They're because of you Always because of you I love you Why Why do I love you If all you ever do is push me away I care Why Why do I care If you never even cared about me?

Why
Every scar Every cut Every bruise Every tear Every time I cry Every time I'm angry Every time I'm confused Every time I'm miserable People look People see People notice Nobody says anything I'm okay I'm fine I'm miserable I'm depressed I don't know why I don't know at all I just want this to stop I feel out of control I try finding a reason Any reason at all Any reason why I'm doing this to myself A million reasons why I can't tell anyone I can't talk to anyone They won't understand I don't understand It comes and it goes I'm happy and I'm sad I'm just waiting a little longer For it to go away this time

Battle Wounds
I run It's the only thing I know how to do I run Because I hurt too many people to stay I run Because there's nothing here for me I run Because you're better off without me I run Because I can't stand to see the disappointment I run Because I know how much shame I bring to you I run I just run I run from everyone I run from everything I try to tell myself I'm better off alone That way I can't hurt anyone But the more I run The more I hurt people I'm just destructive I ruin things I ruin things and I run I just run Because it's the only thing I know how to do

Run
We encounter things everyday Things that make us question' Question who we are Question our thoughts Can I do better than this? Am I really trying hard enough? Am I doing a good job? Am I a good person? We ask ourselves questions We try to figure out things Things not even others can figure out Yet we keep asking these questions So who are you? Who are you, really? Ask yourself this It may not be what you want to hear Who are you? Who am I? The great question That may never be answered.

Who are you?
We long for everything we can't have We wish for everything to be better We want more than we could ever have Nobody is ever satisfied Children are starving People are killing Kidnapping Stealing Everything could be worse Everything we know could cease to exist Everything we own could be taken away Yet we're still not satisfied Why is it that nobody appreciates Why is it that people aren't thankful Thankful for the little things Thankful for a family, or a house You have more than some will ever have You have more than some dream of You have what some people want You have what some people need Everybody wants more Everybody is greedy Everybody dreams for more Everybody is envious

Envious
I haven't slept Not once The exhaustion comes I want to sleep I close my eyes Sleep doesn't come My mind is running wild I try to just breathe Don't think I tell myself Just breathe Sleep doesn't come I lie there for hours Lie there with my eyes closed Hoping, praying I can sleep tonight But sleep just doesn't come

Exhaustion
Time is a murderer Time is a killer Taking and taking and never giving Time takes us Takes our youth Inhaling it every second Time goes all too fast When we need it slow Time goes all to slow When we need it fast Time makes the decisions Life is measured in time Time of birth Time of death Time is always there Always dwelling, looming Until one day Time envelopes us whole How long can you wait How long can you hide Time is precious Some waste it Some **** it Everyone fears it We never have enough Never have enough time

Time
I wish someone would notice Notice the good in me, instead of the bad I wish someone would notice Notice who I truly am I wish someone would notice The way I smile or the way I laugh I wish someone would notice Notice how lonely I am I wish someone would notice Notice how broken I am I wish someone would notice Notice the demons I face I wish someone would notice Notice my actions I wish anyone would notice Notice me.
